Chocolate and E-mails

lately i have been drinking copious amounts of hot chocolate and trying to sort through thousands of e-mails. literally btwn my 2 e-mail accounts, i have easily over 7,000 messages. most of the 7,000+ e-mails are junk/spam mail and i have from joining various freebie and get paid to sites like SWAGBUCKS. it is amazing how when you sign up for one site...all the e-mails start coming in (rolls eyes & shakes head). i now understand why some folks have multiple e-mail accounts. i would say i only have about 300 e-mails that are relevant and that i should keep that are from family, friends, and past school projects etc. the copious amounts of hot chocolate is to help me get through sorting and deleting the e-mail and well, we have A LOT of hot chocolate mix packs (mostly from sales, we have gotten them for as low as $0.15 (15 cents) a box) and it is time to use them up and i am glad to help in this process :)

so, with all this... how do you all keep your e-mail(s) from filling up and is there an end in site? ahhh! well, back to it all so i raise my mug to you and say cheers to lots of hot chocolate and e-mails. :)

  1. I just keep filtering what I don't like into Spam and eventually Hotmail catches on and automatically puts junk into that folder. For the most part, anyway. Still takes me forever to check my email lol.

    1. Camille, i know. takes the longest time it seems. and with all the changes they are making to accounts, it is not as easy to delete items as in the past.

  6. I definitely don't have an interest in going through that many emails...yikes! But the hot chocolate with marshmallows (in my case, I empty a can of whipped cream in mine :)) I can drink that all day long.

  7. I set up a "junk email" account with hotmail. I use that for stores - and another things. Then I have emails for my work. emails for me.
    So I just look at the ones that are important - scan the rest and delete. So if you want me - make the title interesting.
